August 26, 2025
The Astros placed Rooney on the 15-day injured list Tuesday due to left elbow inflammation, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

He will be eligible to return Sept. 9, but given the nature of the injury, Rooney might need more time to make a full recovery. The lefty reliever has made one appearance for Houston this season, surrendering one run over 1.1 frames.

Stat Review
How does John Rooney compare to other relievers?
This section compares his stats with all relief pitcher seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 30 innings)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.

* Exit Velocity, Barrels/BBE %, Balls Hit 95+ MPH %, and Spin Rate are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 30 IP). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.
